aLess than 300 dead (with/by COVID-19), about 400 currently hospitalized and less than 100 of those needing ventilators here in Denmark. Last I heard, we had 1.000+ ventilators standing by.
We are well ahead of the curve, and some Corana specific hospital wards are actually closing down due to lack of patients. We will start opening up slowly beginning next week with schools, daycare etc. on Wednesday. Schools only for the 0-5th grade though and those who have to take their final exams this year. Unfortunately my kids are in 6th and 9th grade, and will have to stay home until May 10th.The HID works in daycare, so she will back to work starting Tuesday, making preparations for the influx of kids and setting up confined areas for smaller groups etc. Schools have to make sure 2m distance between students when in class rooms, which is quite a logistical problem, primarily in the smaller schools...
The number of people getting sick and maybe need medical assistance is expected to rise due to this. But so far there is no immediate pressure on the health system/hospitals. Should things go really bad, they will probably close down schools again.
I read an interesting comparison article in the Guardian this morning, best two responses 🇩🇰 and New Zealand both led by young woman, worst responses 🇧🇷 and 🇺🇸 run by old testosterone fueled men.
